Re: FURROWS OF VERMILION CO., ILLINOIS

Thank you for writing.I am descended from Lorana Prather (my great-great grandmother) and her second husband, William Wilcox.My grandmother kept in touch with her Furrow cousins in Oregon but, after she died in the early 1950s, the family lost track of everyone.I don't have any information on the senior Mathias and would appreciate knowing more about him, as well as the other members of the family.I have a WWI photo of Louis Furrow and a couple of pictures of Lorana.I also have a photo of the crossing where Lorana was killed that shows the family home. Lorana's parents were William Thomas Prather and Emily Watkins.
